The UE may utilize a communication link with the RAN node based on the measurement and the RAN node may utilize the communication link to communicate with a group of UEs sharing at least one same RSS beam.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for performing deep packet inspection (DPI) for an SD-WAN (software defined, wide area network) established for an entity by a plurality of edge nodes and a set of one or more cloud gateways. At a particular edge node, the method uses local and remote deep packet inspectors to perform DPI for a packet flow. Specifically, the method initially uses the local deep packet inspector to perform a first DPI operation on a set of packets of a first packet flow to generate a set of DPI parameters for the first packet flow. The method then forwards a copy of the set of packets to the remote deep packet inspector to perform a second DPI operation to generate a second set of DPI parameters. In some embodiments, the remote deep packet inspector is accessible by a controller cluster that configures the edge nodes and the gateways.
